Joshua T's new track Heart Beating is the product of a unique collaboration with Blank Tape's Cesar Rodrigues and the Berlin-based, Melbourne-born songwriter and musical enigma. Heart Beating is a tactile, heaving electronic anthem; a fearless blend of pulsating and sampled beats, low-res bleeps and hand claps that groove in tandem with its epic delivery of journeying to the brink of life, and back again.

The three and a half minute fist-pumping catchcry, which draws upon 90s hip hop, 80s new wave, and 8bit videogame synths through a prism of hazy indie nostalgia, is redolent of Joshua T's signature approach: genre-defying, hookladen and pop-leaning.
After JT's initial tracking of vocal layers in friends' loungerooms and vintage synths in bedrooms, the song lay dormant on his harddrive and Cesar Rodrigues, being a fan of his work for a long time encouraged him to bring this one out of the shadows. Together they polished the rough edges in the newly established Blank Tape studio in Northcote, producing the track into its final swirling lush mix.

Joshua T is currently working on new material for his debut album with Oscar Dawson and Joe Franklin (Dukes Of Windsor/Planet Love Sound) at the production helm. The trio are currently based in Berlin and the highly anticipated results will be hitting Australian shores early in 2012.
